Goodness knows i support free speech, the question here is if a community states they feel they have been disrespected by a business, then HOW FAST DOES THOSE responsible for putting out that disrespectful action respond be it, with a thought to be a positive or negative comment.
To me it took too long in this case for the NY POST to respond. (i know some at the Post and am told some thought it would go away after a few days as in thinking less of certain communities and sure all communities have their out of touch groups but was told it was too "deep" in this case.).
So here just one idea that can be used when you feel your community has been disrespected. i call it the COMMUNITY COPY, this idea is from 1980 as i tried to tell union leaders but being a teen back then (not to mention not in that union) i was told to leave a note as the union leader (part of DC37) was too busy.
I DO NOT WANT people fired i prefer they be awakened of how serious their action was by "hitting" them in their "pocket" (pay check...with NO LOOP HOLES in the deal). Paid Penalties GO TO CHARITIES not necessarily charities that support the community or in this case African-Americans but a noble third/neutral charity(ies) as a charity for helping international children (really no such thing s International children. ALL OUR children, all our future be they now of your country or "that other" country(ies) and in the future be they children of Earth or to any other Uni-verse) Go ahead Chuckle first (it only human) then remember my comment is based on the science formula of "L+O+v+E to the power of 1 = U" (an old quote from a 5th grade report i wrote at P.S. 116 YEARS! AGO.
What is needed:
---A copier (several if many join the idea) B & W OK but, if colour is available ok, Community centres should have them just allocate 1 or 2 hours for there use in the pre dawn hours. THERE ARE LAWS THAT ALLOCATE THINGS As COPIERS TO BE GIVEN FOR FREE FOR COMMUNITY CENTRES and one is using them for a non profit situation. COMMUNITY CENTRE LEADERS MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT USED EVEN ONCE FOR ANYTHING ELSE as that will hit the press and make the entire community look bad got that!!!, i mean GOT THAT!!!!!!!!!! All it takes i one mistake/error in judgment to give a reason for it to be exploited by those who wish to do just that. so Adults Act WITH COMPLETE CLASS, AS CHILDREN COPY AS THEY SEE NOT AS THY ARE TOLD. DO NOT TO USE DISRESPECTFUL LANGUAGE,SMOKE,DRINK WHILE PREPARING THESE COMMUNITY COPIES,leave that for the bars.(Watch one day there will be the Street version/edition and the Bar edition of the NY NEWS-papers)
---Volunteers preferably Retirees/Senior Citizens i.e. Grandmas and Grandpas that what to be active in the community.(first select KNOWN RESPONSIBLE PEOPLE)
What to do:
---One buys JUST ONE (in this case) NY POST.
---Then one takes hat ORIGINAL PAPER and copies ONLY the NEWS. (if one can use more than one copier separate the copying job into parts i.e. #1 COPIER copies HEADLINEs, #2 COPIER copies SPORTs section,#3 COPIER copies EDITORIAL SECTION so on.
---ONE ASKS local businesses to allows special inserts they create/have created/or ask you to create to be inserted as "community coupons" in those COMMUNITY COPIES. This way the Advertisers in the NY POST will notice they are not being viewed by your community thus lose revenue, ventually put pressure NOT TO FIRE BUT penalize.
---Ask people who live in your neighborhood be it in brown-stones to "projects"/tenements to sign up or free delivery AND COPY of the COMMUNITY copied NY POST.
Explain why you are doing this and which pages are being copied as the headlines, page six (some call page sex),editorial pages (which i am sure the NY Post will use to influence these readers and sports, its their Right)
---HOW TO DELIVER: 2 methods:
1] The senior citizens and those out of work that want to be active in the community can be asked to deliver the COPIED POST door to door in groups (¿ Groups? For safety as any community has people who look for trouble so be safe than sorry)
2] SAFER METHOD: At the building's community centre(s) be it just inside or JUST OUTSIDE one can have a big sign stating for people to pick up their free COMMUNITY COPY NY POST and all they do is write in either their name or apt # NO SIGNATURES a this is not a petition plus signatures can fall into the wrong hands, including some mischievous people who might work/volunteer in the centre.
THIS IS A NON PROFIT ACTIVITY and i think one can ask for donations for needs as copier ink and paper, BUT I AM SURE SOME COMPANIES MIGHT DONATE BUT ALWAYS CHECK THE LOCAL LAWS AND WHEN COMPANIES DONATE DO NIT ASK FOE MASSIVE AMOUNTS as that just is asking for those with greed in their minds to steal, therefore ask only for a week to week needs,peace
